520 3 |a Founded in 1147, Moscow was for much of its early history in thrall to other nations - to the Khans, the Tartars and the Poles. The city was devastated by fire time and again, but with each rebuilding, it grew ever more magnificent. For every church that was destroyed, it seemed that two more were built. In this evocative and fascinating anthology, Moscow's turbulent growth is recorded through the voices of visitors and residents: Peter the Great's bloody reprisals after the revolt of the streltsy in 1698; a visit to the city's brothels by medical students in the 1890s; Kutuzov abandoning Moscow to Napoleon in 1812, and Napoleon's ignominious retreat from the burning city; Pushkin railing against the mindlessness of 1830 society; the flowering of literary greatness in the ninenteenth century and of the Moscow Art Theatre in the twentieth; and the dazzling profusion of jewels in the Treasury of the Kremlin. These and many other milestones in over seven hundred years of history are brought vividly to life

The city was devastated by fire time and again, but with each rebuilding, it grew ever more magnificent. For every church that was destroyed, it seemed that two more were built. In this evocative and fascinating anthology, Moscow's turbulent growth is recorded through the voices of visitors and residents: Peter the Great's bloody reprisals after the revolt of the streltsy in 1698; a visit to the city's brothels by medical students in the 1890s; Kutuzov abandoning Moscow to Napoleon in 1812, and Napoleon's ignominious retreat from the burning city; Pushkin railing against the mindlessness of 1830 society; the flowering of literary greatness in the ninenteenth century and of the Moscow Art Theatre in the twentieth; and the dazzling profusion of jewels in the Treasury of the Kremlin. These and many other milestones in over seven hundred years of history are brought vividly to life</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Geschichte</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Voyages and travels</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Historic sites / Russia (Federation) / Moscow</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Moscow (Russia) / Description and travel</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Moscow (Russia) / History</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Moscow (Russia) / Guidebooks</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Historic sites</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Travel</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Russia (Federation) / Moscow</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Guidebooks</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">History</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Kelly, Laurence</subfield><subfield code="d">1933-</subfield><subfield code="e">Sonstige</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)172205336</subfield><subfield code="4">oth</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">Digitalisierung UB Bamberg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment</subfield><subfield code="q">application/pdf</subfield><subfield code="u">http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&amp;doc_library=BVB01&amp;local_base=BVB01&amp;doc_number=029694754&amp;sequence=000002&amp;line_number=0001&amp;func_code=DB_RECORDS&amp;service_type=MEDIA</subfield><subfield code="3">Inhaltsverzeichnis</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="943" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">oai:aleph.bib-bvb.de:BVB01-029694754</subfield></datafield></record></collection>
